I discovered a world bug.

"I need you to immediately implement strict censorship and control over the national internet!"

"It's too late, I already know what they're going to do!"

"They're not launching any targeted attacks, they're distributing guns! They're giving guns to everyone!"

"The ritual...they want to spread the message of the ritual!"

"That kind of ritual that can cause cardiac arrest! It must be it!"

"If ordinary people were to master this ritual, it would be disastrous! We must act quickly, or it will be too late!"

At Ruili Airport, Lin Shu, who had just landed, reiterated his assessment to Qin Lang once again.

The moment Qin Lang mentioned "national events," he suddenly understood the meaning of the images he had seen in the divination.

So many faces, so many attacks, they could even pierce through the layers of the amulet I was carrying.

Clearly, these attacks did not come from the same person, but from countless ritual users!

They all focused their attention on themselves.

Where do their abilities, or rather their "information," come from?!

It must have been spread by members of the Hongyuan Society.

They are a cult, and they are absolutely capable of doing things that disregard the consequences!

They don't care what happens after the information spreads, nor do they care how many innocent people will be injured or killed.

In their eyes, the lives of ordinary people are not lives at all, but merely consumables in the process of achieving their goals!

Lin Shu quickly walked down the airplane steps and got into the car that had come to pick him up.

The liaison personnel were already prepared. As soon as he got into the car, he was fitted with a complex life monitoring device.

But that's no longer necessary.

If the opponent's information attack cannot be blocked, any attempt to retaliate after the attack is ineffective.

Are you kidding me?

No matter how powerful the government is, the forces it can mobilize are limited.

And countless ordinary people...

Their power is almost limitless!

Lin Shu had once seen a test that showed that if there was a button that, when pressed, would cause the death of someone other than herself, but you would not pay any price and would not be caught.

Do you know how to press it?

The result of this test was that over 60% of people chose to press [the button].

Of course, some of these people genuinely want to press the button—after all, if morality is disregarded, every death in the world is a positive benefit for them, "reducing competition."

But most people were just joking, or simply indulging in some kind of perverse pleasure.

The same thing happens when deadly rituals are spread.

The people who receive the message may not have any malicious intent; they may simply be trying it out of curiosity. But their attempts will ultimately lead to unintended negative consequences.

This evil consequence will first fall upon oneself, but it will never end with one's death.

This is practically... a declaration of war!

"We have notified the internet monitoring department to enter a state of full alert."

Qin Lang's voice came through the radio.

After understanding the opponent's attack methods, he became even more composed.

"We will immediately block any keywords detected."

The car headed towards the temporary command post set up in Ruili city. Lin Shu called out anxiously:

"But the problem is, they have countless ways to circumvent keywords!"

"They will definitely spread information through the communication network. We should immediately disconnect from the internet and cut off all network access activities, otherwise..."

"It's not as simple as you think!"

Qin Lang interrupted Lin Shu.

"We're already making preparations, but this isn't something that can be done in a few words!"

"No country in the world can directly cut off the network at the core level. Even if it is just a logical-level block, it requires the coordination of more than 30 departments at the same time."

"This will take at least 30 minutes; it won't be that quick!"

"Moreover, today is a workday. If a large-scale internet shutdown were to occur, the impact on the financial markets would be absolutely devastating!"

"The disaster it brings may even exceed the disaster caused by the spread of the ritual itself!"

"We can't control the decision-making process; we can only wait."

"But don't worry, the instructions have been sent directly to all major social media platforms, and they will cut off server support and shut down major interactive functions within 5 minutes."

"This can prevent the explosive dissemination of ritual information, but we cannot guarantee what will happen next."

"The world is not the same as it was 10 years ago; we can't achieve a truly strict 100% information blockade."

"As long as information exists and as long as the network exists, it will inevitably be transmitted to the terminal in some form."

"Therefore, lockdowns are meaningless; only targeted control is meaningful..."

"I see."

Lin Shu finally realized what was happening.

This is not a battle between spear and shield.

The authorities cannot simply lock the entire country in a turtle shell; that would obviously lead to the collapse of social order in a very short time.

The opposing side has an information advantage and can launch similar attacks an unlimited number of times over a long period of time.

Even if the leader is found or captured, it is impossible to stop the attack. They can simply upload the information to a decentralized network and then have their deputies distributed across various countries continuously distribute it.

It is impossible to end this disaster by relying solely on "passive defense".

The only effective way for the authorities to deal with this is to first obtain the specific content of the information being disseminated by the other party, and then use a big data system to accurately intercept it.

The consequence of this is that some information may still be leaked, and someone may still be able to master the rituals, causing a public safety crisis.

But overall, the cost is perfectly acceptable...

So, in essence, this is a game of time.

"...You must launch a counterattack as soon as you obtain the information."

Lin Shu calmed down.

"The speed at which information spreads online is too fast. Every few seconds of delay can mean that the information could reach tens of thousands more people."

"This is extremely risky..."

"But we have no choice."

Qin Lang replied in a deep voice:

"This is the only feasible solution—entrapment? You could say that."

"As I said before, we will prioritize shutting down the mainstream social networks with the largest user base, which will give us some buffer time."

"It could take a few minutes, or if you're unlucky, just a few seconds."

"But a few seconds is enough. As long as we keep the number of people who know about it below 10, we still have enough time to block all attacks."

"10 people?"

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment.

"How is that possible? Let alone 10 people, even 10 pigs couldn't be caught that quickly, okay?"

This "bottom line" is just too high.

Lin Shu didn't even understand where Qin Lang's confidence came from.

Discover, locate, visit, block.

In terms of the official grassroots execution capacity, it should be far from sufficient, right?

However, Qin Lang's answer made Lin Shu's eyes widen instantly.

His voice came through the radio.

"You don't need to worry about that at all."

"We have a position called community grid worker..."
